2 Corinthians 10:6

6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Ver. 6. And having in a readiness ] Vengeance is every whit as ready in God’s hand, as in the minister’s mouth. See Matthew 16:19 ; Matthew 18:18 . Elisha hath his sword as well as Jehu and Hazael, 1 Kings 19:17 . God hews men by his prophets and slays them by the words of his mouth, Hosea 6:5 . By preaching, Christ many times smites the earth, Isaiah 11:4 ; his word lays hold on them, Zechariah 1:6 , and that which they have counted wind, hath become fire to devour them,Jeremiah 5:13-14; Jeremiah 5:13-14 .
